Since this report concerns a possible security risk, an incomplete security advisory task has been added while the core security reviewers for the affected project or projects confirm the bug and discuss the scope of any vulnerability along with potential solutions.

The first 2 points looks valid, however the third one seems incorrect. The set[ug]id function does check for failure and will raise the FailedToDropPrivileges if something wrong happen. Thus it's the responsability of the caller to except this exception or be interrupted, which sounds fine.

As explained on bug 1628348, oslo.privsep isn't handled directly by the OpenStack Vulnerability Management Team, though we are happy to help here.
